This is the worst car that I have ever brought.

I will not put my family in this car, because it feels like it is unsafe to drive. I will never buy another chysler product . You take your life in your hands when driving this. I have had jeeps before, and I am surprise that they don't have a recall on this vechile.

I have never kept any previous vehicle this long - now 17 years. Bliss!!

There was one time when I was able to engage the front wheels into gear from within the cab without getting out, and avoided getting my shoes/socks/pants muddied up to, at least, my knees. This was nicely done in order to drive it out of a large mud hole which was deeper than all four of the wheel hubs. It pulled right out with ease and saved me from a cold messy day on Bradford Island in the San Joachin delta.
Earlier in time we rented a CJ-5 (bikini top only) on Maui that we used for the two weeks of our honeymoon there. I liked that Jeep too - mostly for how casual we could be with it. We were able to go to parts of Maui that are prohibited from conventional autos with lower road clearance. From then on I wanted one of my own.
